Border police for the UK

For the first time in the UK, a uniformed border control force will be established at airports and ports around the country, claims the Home Secretary John Reid. After a report by MPs condemned the current enforcement measures as 'inadequate', the MPs also commented on the lack of ability to remove illegal imigrants and poor decisions made in individual cases.

The proposed idea has been vetoed by a refugee Council spokesman who declared the money would be better put to use on funding to train asylum case workers than on funding border police.
